It jams way too easily. With cardboard mounted slides, the friction
between two slides is sometimes too much, and it tries to suck in two
slides at once at times. With plastic mounted slides, sometimes the
little extra bits of plastic that all molded pieces come with catch
on other slides, or on parts of the feeder and cause jamming. If I
load 40 or so slides, I can now get it to do the whole thing about
60% of the time. At the beginning, I had trouble gettting the feeder
to do more than 10 before jamming. The whole design isn't that great.
